I've just added them over to the right. I think that, when I have some more time tonight, I'll come back to provide some background because they're all over the place. Some are recent, some are from my high school days and some are from training runs. That should be interesting, shouldn't it?

Travis, do you ever think you can make a stab at those old records. If you've run at 15:50 before, they're should be a good chance you can do it again--unless you're over forty or so and have been running continuously...

I've always considered that PR to be untouchable. Maybe if I gave it some effort I could get within two minutes of that time?
Travis,
Let me ask a rather direct, "non-polite" question: how old are you? If you are below forty, got in shape, trained right, and dropped some weight, I have a feeling you could at least crack 17. I'm sorry, but a person doesn't lose that footspeed--you're obviously blessed with some basic speed and decent VO2 max, why not take advantage of it? Seriously, I think you could do it.
I have no problem giving out my age. I'm 37 and I'll turn 38 in May. I haven't been running straight through since high school. In fact, I didn't run at all from 1988 to 2005.
See I have dropped sharing my absolute PRs mostly in favor of PRs in the last year. Because when I ran with Xcountry for one season, my times dropped dramatically (running with fast people all the time, and forced speed work) and I've never gotten close to touching them myself. (I'm lazy and do what is fun more than what would mean the absolutely lowest times-- which tends to mean lots of volume training and very little speedwork and planned workouts"
